Josh Billings Philosophy.

To play fuSt rate rate game ov lawn tennis, q young man don t want to be able to do anything else we'll,
 No man kan eyer be good talk CT until he haz first learned to be a good listener.
 The man who ain't prepared, at enny time to forget at least one half he haz learned, never will be- come very wise.
 Nature never makes enny mis- takes or blunders that mOrtals kan remedy. She often puts an extra crook in dogs tail, just for fun; but the crook can't be straighten- ed without spelling the tail.
 We can't help but envy thOze who always appear to be happy; and yet to be always happy man must be phool.
 There are plenty ov people who seem to hay been born just on pur. pose to ask questions, and never be satisfied with the answers. When they reach the celestial gate and Saint Peter tells them to en- ter, they will wonder if he haz got it right.
 Thare arc too many in the world who would rather do a kunnlDg thing than kind one. All kun ming iz not wicked, but it is on the way that leads to wickedness. Whenever a woman undertakes to play the clown, she makes a phOol ov herself, and the business too.
 Culture iz good in the right quantity and on the right soil; but all the culture in the world won't make the cabbage blossom like the rose.
 The top round of the ladder iz not only difficult place to reach, but a most difficult place to stick to. You can't stake out a claim there.
 My dear boy, don't forget that there are many ways to miss the bulls eye, but only one way to hit if

Among n dozen dyspcptics no two will have tho same pre- dominant symptoms.

It is a poor policy to go whining through the world, and to be al, ways bidding for public sympathy. Do the very best you can every day and in everything. Don't go murmuring to your daily toll, nor wear frown as if all your friends were dead md you were in search of a first-class funeral. Be cheer ful. If it rains to-day. the sun will shine tomorrow. Make the best of your own lot, and don't allow yourself to envy any one or covel what they have. Go into your humble cottage with living, true heart and cheerful spirit, anc very soon the music of wife an( children will make it real palace and you can walk through it and say, as Bro.

BY THE WAYSIDE.
How Bill Benson Kept the Oath
 He SacredIy Swore.

! It was about the middle of De cember. Winter had set in in ear nest. The wind howled through the streets. Pedestrians drew themselves into the innermost re- cesses of their great coats to avoid contact with the frosty air.
 Near midnight, my days toll be ing completed, 1 laid aside my pen wrapped myself up snugly and stepped out into the storm, home ward bound. It was an awful night The hard-trozen snow drifted in bindings clouds before the biting northwest wind. The fire gust went through my heavy clothing like knife, and forced me into d run to quicken the sluggish flow of my blood. But few passengers appeared on the streets; the cars had ceased moving; the night was almost alone with the storm.
 "Esenin9 paper, sir. Wont you buy, please?'
 It was the pleading voice of q little newsgirl.
 During journalistic career ol several years, had grown accus. toned 10 appeals like this at all seasons.
 There was no attraction for me at that moment in any paper, but there was something in the plain. tive tone of the child's words that induced me to turn and look into the pinched yet beautiful face.
 "Only one left; won't you buy, sir?" she repeated.
 "HOw is it you are out so late on such q night, little one" l asked.
 "Haven't sold out yet" was the simple explanation.
 And will you go right home if l buy your last paper"
 "Yes, sir, as soon as Billy has sold out."..
 "And who is Billym I inquired
 "Oh, he's my chum; he's over there on the other corner" and fol lowing the motion of her hand saw crouchIng in the doorway the shivering igure of d half-clad boy, who still had papers to sell under his arm.
 purchased the girls last paper and urging her to get home speed fly, stepped into a dark and con venient doorway to await develop ments. for instinct told me that would find therein not only food for thought, but material for fu' ture use.
 She dashed across the street n the direction of Billy, needless oI everything else, while the cutting wind tore through her thin cotton dress and threatened to carry her away bodily.
 "I've sold out, Billy" l heard her shout gleetully, as she ran uI to the shivering lad. "HOw many have you got left?"
 Two"
 "Fl take one and let's gt home.'
 BillS's response to this generous proposal was lost in the roar 0 the storm, but actions speak loud CT than words.
 'sPaper, sir!" he cried, running up to man who was passing, off ering hlm the latest news iron all parts of the world for cent But, without looking at the little fellow, the gentleman passed on.
 AS if in piriless contempt for th' unsuccessful efforts of the llttl' merchant to dispose of his stock in trade, the wind hOwled an' shrieked about the corners more fiercely than before.
 Billy hesitated for a moment then grasping his two papers t'sht ly under his arm and placing tho

A Big Preflt for SOMEBODY.

We have just been reading about the
distribution of the profits Oh q ISL. 30 book
On the first Loco the stereotyper loses six
cents per cory, the publisher loses
eighteen cents, tie author loses ten cents,
the printer loses his time and the reader
loses his patience. You see there isn't
really very much made on the first /, 900;
the profits develop more fully on the sue
ceeding thousands. Suppose, for instance,
you decide to publish an edition Of 5000;
you lose 500 on the first 1000 Then
you change your mind and don't publish
the other 4, 600 You make $500 on them,
clear profit Of $500 net. You can't see
its Well, don't you ever publish book,
then, that's all; you haven't the real
authors instinct; you have no genius. ~
